So, the lady in the tent quests gives you 2 healing powders for fighting the rats. The thing is, I went on 3 different level 2 characters, and 2 healing powders isn't enough to keep you healthy against the mutant rats. For a new player, the bb gun is probably the only weapon available there and it's very weak. 2-4 shots per rat with it. I suggest making the lady give you a few more healing powders, or even possibly 3 stims instead. It will help new players I think. This might seem retarded, but 2 of my 3 test characters died inside the farm house. One in turnbased, one in realtime. I played as a total noob pretending to be new to the game, and I got rekt.
